So after doing something dumb with CWM, fixing it and being back on on ED1. I am getting an error message saying Sim Card unreadable or not supported.
and ideas why?
Negative! But I am all ears...I forgot not to recover LOL. I'm in the same boat, I'm going to try n get a new sim card tomorrow

hmmm
so you used the recover too? Then fixed the brick and now no Sim Card reading?
My Sim Card wouldn't read a new one VZW tried to put in there, so its being replaced, this might be an unexpected consequence.
which package did you use to fix your phone after trying the recover tool?

Haha yea, I was so used to doing it on my Evo that it was second nature to me. I work at my local Bestbuy, so I'm sure it won't be an issue. Plus even if they found out I did root it, to them it functions perfectly I used the almost full one. But ironically it only worked for me when I didn't click on the re-partition. I went against the grain and it worked somehow!
Same thing I did, (did re-partition however), The almost one was the only one that worked for me. Then I had to flash ED1 rooted and it came up with the sim card reading error.
Interesting.

You said that after getting a new sim card it didn't work still? Did you end up rooting your new phone? We must remember not to recover!!
That is correct, a new sim card will not work, it seems to be the reader.

Yea it was pretty crazy
OH BTW! Lookie what I found?!
SIM Card - Inserting / Removing - Motorola DROID Pro (XT610)
Do not attempt to insert or remove the SIM card with the battery still installed in the device. Doing so can harm the SIM card and / or the device.
Gentlemen! You may want to check with DroidXcon on this topic.
He had the exact same problem a couple of days ago while building one of the first ROMs for the EE4 release.
There is a software solution for the "dead SIM" issue. I just don't remember who DroidXcon contacted to fix the problem, but it did get fixed by another dev.
P.S.: When you find out the solution, it would be nice to post it here.
Cheers!

I think you are talking about the read only sdcard issue with rooted kernels on EE4... I was the dev who showed him how to fix i.. But either-way its completely unrelated
Sorry - I was sure I saw DroidXCon saying that he had a problem with his SIM card not being recognized (and the SD card problem, too) a few days ago while he was on the IRC, and we were confused how loading a new ROM would affect SIM card reading.
I'm sorry for any misinformation I provided.
My bad.
glad to know i'm not the only one in exactly the same situation
Unknown Baseband Version
Im no expert but i think the sim card is not being read because the phone has a unknown baseband version. Now if only we could find a way to restore that.
I've tried flashing stock ED1 ED2 EE4 and nothing
After flashing all those, everytime i checked settings>about phone>Baseband version says unkown
It would be awesome if a developer could look into this and find a fix for it if thats what the problem is.

hm. I haven't been able to get there fast enough.
I seem to be in the same boat. Unknown baseband version shows:
i510.06V.EE4
Unkown
Can't connect to network as the sim card can not be read. Hoping there is a software fix.
Hi,
I have done a clean install, fixed permissions, put SU to "allow" and I'm still getting the message that the process com.android.phone has stop. Anyone has an idea? I'm using kalim v1 of JB. I have tried other roms too with the same problem when the phone boots.
Can someone help please?
Thanks
It has something to do with our SIM card I think. I'm getting the same error. When the SIM card is not inserted I don't get the error.
Videotron's SIM card does that I think.
Anyways if I find something on how to fix it I'll let you know. If you do let me know as well.
Bonne chance

Merci
Till now i haven't faced any issues on my desire s, but today i faced a weird problem. I was normally using it when it got warm so i decided to restart it. After restarting i got the message "insert sim card". I have been trying to solve this issue from last 2-3 hrs but no luck till now. Plz help guys.
Take out battery,sim and sdcard for hour n so .
And try.
If still no luck then wipe data format all except sdcard.
Reflash ROM that will probably solve your problem.

Plz help...

Which rom have u tried?
Have you tried a different sim card?
could be that there is dirt on the points that touches the sim, try wiping it.
Shouldn't be a rom issue if indeed u tried different roms.

First of all thanks a lot for replying.
I've tried many roms. Currently running latest official ICS ruu. I also believe there there be the issue with sim slot points. I tried opening the phone but sim slot is not getting exposed. Please can you suggest me how to do it?

Here's a youtube video of how to take the phone apart.
Have you tried different sim card? could be a damage sim card.
Thanks for the video link.
I am stuck at 02:55(removing flex cable connectors). Don't have the tool, will bring it from the market tomorrow. Meanwhile i have doubt whether i'll be able to easily reassemble it
It just stop working few day's ago, can't make it work with any sim card anymore. It all happens at 6.0.1. I tried to install 5.0.1. with no luck there, and 4.4.4. that didn't work either but at least at 4.4.4. I could mess a little bit with finding carrier at settings , with 6.0.1 and 5.0.1. it is faded in setting menu. Will get ss here. I am sorry for my English, if there is anyone with any idea there to help I would be very grateful. :crying:
If clean flash doesnt help, probably your sim tray is broken. You can try flashing latest radio from factory images. Maybe that could help :/

I believe sim card slot is soldered on the board. If radio flash wont helpYou cant fix it at home, withouth soldering skills and a special tool

I was hoping that this is the reason but my simcard is intact. Checked it with another phone.
Or...what do you mean with "safe"?
